    Question WTF - Xara mm Units

    What combination of settings does it take to get Xara Units to work in Win 7?

    Xara Units = mm
    Page Size: 100.000 x 100.0000
    result: 99.9999mm x 99.9999mm (no matter the Decimal setting in Win7, the result is never 100.00mm)

    Example Image
    Xara exported SVG 50x50mm
    Import 123D 141.733 x 141.733mm


    Tried:
    Win7 Program Files> Regional> Advanced> Decimal = 3
    Win7 Program Files> Regional> Advanced> Decimal = 4
    Win7 Program Files> Regional> Advanced> Decimal = 6

    Default Re: WTF - Xara mm Units

    Might be the receiving application or a combination of both.

    If I export two rectangles, one at 100 mm and one at 50 mm and open that file in InkScape, the results are:

    Exported at 100 mm = 100.001 mm
    Exported at 50 mm = 50 mm

    And likely there is still a rounding (error) value past the 4 digits I use in Windows 8. InkScape only goes to 3 decimals.

    Open your 50 x 50 mm object in InkScape and see if the amount of deviation is as great as 123D demonstrates.
